\title{Multivariate Analysis of Variance}
\description{
  A class for the multivariate analysis of variance.
}
\usage{
manova(\dots)
}
\arguments{
  \item{\dots}{Arguments to be passed to \code{\link{aov}}.}
}
\details{
  Class \code{"manova"} differs from class \code{"aov"} in selecting a
  different \code{summary} method.  Function \code{manova} calls
  \code{\link{aov}} and then add class \code{"manova"} to the result
  object for each stratum.
}
\value{
  See \code{\link{aov}} and the comments in \sQuote{Details} here.
}
% \note{
%   \code{manova} does not support multistratum analysis of variance, so
%   the formula should not include an \code{Error} term.
